Job offer in Perth what to do next
Hi all, I have just received a offer which I have accepted for a job in Perth I think the offices are in Bayswater ? Could somebody tell a good area to find executive rentals near the beach area which is about a 30min drive to ther offices also that has a good primary and high school?
I'm a bit in shock still and so confused in what to do, what are the best areas to look for good rental properties, my family wants still be near shopping malls.
My minds gone blank now but will have more questions. so i know make it what you wont but is it paradise?
Thanks

You asked was it paradise
I think that many of us that live here, even the ones who are very happy here (like me), find it a touch amusing that people in Blighty might think we are living in paradise.

The Beach and Bayswater - thats from Trigg down to Freemantle .
30 minutes at peak hour - maybe , seems a lot of travelling.
Executive rentals would be more appealing around East Perth - Mt Lawley

Re: Job offer in Perth what to do next
Agreed. It helps the consideration process as if, on balance, a person's life isn't going to be any more blissful in Perth than in the UK, then that person would want to think long and hard about it, instead of coming here thinking they were heading to paradise. Personally, I never for one moment assumed that I was coming to paradise (partly based on what I'd heard other people say). If I had, it would have been a severe let-down upon arriving in Perth as it is rather dull compared to other places I've worked and lived (although a hell of a lot more safe than a lot of other places I've worked, as I don't need an armed guard, for one thing! ). I think it was a justified question with justified answers that should be taken as honest opinions, but remembering that they are only some people's opinions.

noun
1.heaven, as the final abode of the righteous.
2.an intermediate place for the departed souls of the righteous awaiting resurrection.
3.(often initial capital letter) Eden (def. 1).
4.a place of extreme beauty, delight, or happiness.
5.a state of supreme happiness; bliss.
I think if you look at numbers 4 and 5, for some Perth is the antithesis of this definition. For others it isn't.
